Good capture fella! I have also been trying to catch one of these guys in flight. Very tough to do, they seem to dart away when you least expect it! very nice job! Don

This shot took my breath away - catching a dragonfly in flight. Beautiful and makes me wonder if the design for helicopters came from a dragonfly. There seems a similarity to me. Thanks for giving us that moment - the flight of the dragonfly, corresponding to the flight of the bumble bee - caught in music. Mystical moments of thought. Thank you for this also.

it took about 150 .shots rto get about three that i could use ..i used a canon 20d ..which on the right setting for action shots it can shot about three shots per second upto a burst of 24 shots ..i use a sandisk ultra2 card which is a pretty fast card ..a card is where the digital memory is stored ..so gave a few rapid fire shots while i pan ..with him or her ..and got this ..couldve been clearer but he was movin pretty fast ..thanks fella
